Mother As I Saw Her – Swami Saradeshananda
Story of the Present of Fried Rice – 01
A certain son, after visiting the birthplaces of the Master and the Mother, was returning to Calcutta. The Mother was then staying at the Udbodhan House at Calcutta. The devotees of Nabasan’s family sent through him a few radishes of a place known as Bhavadighi, for which the Mother was known to have a special liking. They were sweet, being the product of hard soil. While the Mother stayed at Jayrambati, the members of Nabasan’s family would themselves carry them to the Mother; but now because the disciple was going to Calcutta, they got an opportunity after several days to make a presentation of this favourite vegetables of hers. Taking a packet of these vegetables, the devotee was to go to Chapadanga via Arambagh, and then catch the train run by Messrs. Martin & Co.
